SPORTS: TO TEAM OR NOT TO TEAM (PART 2)
Previously, we focused on rugby as a team sport to highlight a few pros and cons of being in a team sport. Picking up from there, let’s delve into individual sports. These are by far the easiest and possibly the most convenient to practice since one does not have to rely on others to succeed.…

SPORTS: TO TEAM OR NOT TO TEAM (PART 1)
WHEN IT comes to team or individual sports, there are both pros and cons in the practice of either whether as an athlete or coach. Deciding which is the best match for you is dependent on your interests, and whether you are willing to face the hurdles on your path head-on. Oh, and this is…

PUTTING IT OUT THERE: AN IDEA FOR A LIFETIME
Many times we are afraid of putting our ideas out there in the fear that someone could steal it and use it. Something I heard a while back, though, is that there’s no new idea under the sun…. With that in mind, allow me to put into writing an idea or two that I have…

THINKING OUT LOUD: BASIC SKILLS IN SPORTS
A question from the coach’s corner: Generally (and in life), if someone’s wrong technique in something works for them in the end, does it make it right? Specifically (an example): if by throwing the ball like a shotput in basketball during a set shot helps you score more goals, does it make it okay? Here…

IN PREPARATION FOR THE 10TH ALL AFRICA UNIVERSITY (FASU) GAMES
Dear Athlete, Competitions are one of those times in your career that can really affect how you view yourself…and at times, your perception of self worth. I’m not writing to you asking you not to take them seriously; rather, to think about them in a less self-damaging way…especially if things do not go exactly to…

A BIT OF AN UPDATE 😉
Hello, folks! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? First, happy belated Valentines to you! I don’t know if that counts…I hope it does [:)]. Second, it’s been a few crazy last months! I suppose the main reason I haven’t been writing is because I wasn’t sure which content to pen down…then there was also the…
